Favorite Starsky & Hutch Theme from the past 35 years - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

simmytbone · 01-03-2011, 10:16 PM

Hey guys,

Last Fall, Starsky & Hutch celebrated its 35th Anniversary

Starsky & Hutch ran for 4 consecutive seasons and it had 4 different themes:

The Theme to the 1st Season of Starsky & Hutch was more adventurous and that was written by Super Composer Lalo Schifrin best known for composing 4 Dirty Harry Films as well as TV Shows like Mission: Impossible, Medical Center, The Partners, Mannix and many others

He also composed the theme to Season 2 of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum of NCIS Fame

He's even composed the Paramount Television Jingle during the 70's and 80's

The Theme to the 2nd Season of Starsky & Hutch was a well known theme entitled "Gotcha" and that was written by Tom Scott

The Theme to the 4th Season of Starsky & Hutch was a remake of "Gotcha" with more of the buddy buddy feel

and finally, The Theme to the 3rd Season of Starsky & Hutch was more crunk and that was written by Mark Snow who also composed the theme to other Spelling-Goldberg Cop/Detective Shows Hart to Hart and T.J. Hooker Starring William Shatner

and so, in honor of 35 years of Starsky & Hutch

I would like to know:

Not a problem

and also, my favorites are Hands Down Seasons 1 and 3

Season 1 was not only THE Best, but it was also more fast paced and it made Season 1 AWESOME

Season 3 was not only crunk, but it was also AWESOME

Definitely season two.

Season one theme isn't bad, also.
